Greetings,
It has come to our attention that you are getting an enormous amount of disconnections while playing World of Warcraft, We will therefore suspend your account for your own safety.
Your account will be suspended on the *SOME DATE NEXT WEEK*. This is a temporary suspension which prevents anyone else from accessing your account and is taken to protect you from the further loss of characters or items, while we investigate and take any actions needed. Due to the nature of World of Warcraft, it is not possible to restore a character or account from a ‘backup’ and as a result, our investigation needs to be detailed and thorough.
Your account may have been compromised using a Key Logger or Trojan virus which can be used to obtain the account name and password of World of Warcraft accounts used on that computer. We therefore need to verify that your computer is secure before asking you to confirm the account’s ownership.
Please make sure that you are using the most current routines for your anti-virus software.
If your virus detection software is not able to detect or clean the infected files, or if you do not have any virus detection software, then please try one of the following web-based virus scanners:

Please note that Key Loggers and Trojan viruses send information about your passwords to other people and should be considered a serious threat to the integrity of your account. If steps are not taken to remove any possible programs from your computer, it is highly probable that your account will become compromised once more.
Once you have performed the above steps, please use the webform to give us the following information at the address:

If you cannot remember these details, or have lost or misplaced your CD key, we will also require:

Once we have received these details and completed our investigation, we will unsuspend the account and return it to you with a new password and information about item and character reimbursement..

That's just a small part of it, too lazy for the rest. Also, one thing to keep in mind is your target audience: they have the attention span of fruit flies. I got bored reading all that and I'm a dedicated university student who loves literature... imagine ADD-ridden 12-year olds!

Greetings,
It has come to our attention that you are trying to trade or sell your World of Warcraft account. As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement of Blizzard Entertainment and World of Warcraft. If upon further investigation you are indeed attempting to obtain monetary profit against the terms of the user agreement, your account can and will be disabled.
Blizzard has the right to consider legal action if necessary, based on the severity of the action. If you hope to avoid account suspension you should verify your personal possession of the account(s) in question. It is possible to have more than one accounts registered to one e-mail address; if you do, please verify both accounts.
We at Blizzard Entertainment take infractions quite seriously and we must confirm the original ownership of the account(s). This is easily done by supplying personal information about your World of Warcraft account. You can confirm you are the original owner of the account by replying to THIS e-mail address.
Please use the following template below to verify your account via e-mail:
*First and Last name:
*Address :
*CD-key (Alternative to this, you may supply us with a picture of your CD-Key or a picture of your ID):
*Account Name
*Main Character Name:
*Main Character Realm:
*Secret Question and Answer:
*Optional: You can also provide us with personal affiliations with in game characters in your World of Warcraft account (Friendships, guild ranking etc)
If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently due to suspicions of alternate/simultaneous account ownership.
We obtain this information due to a variety of circumstances; some of which are:
i) A post on an account selling/trading website
ii) Suspicious behavior
iii) Sudden Internet Protocol address changes
We look forward to your reply soon.
